Sebastian Vettel shouldn’t need to sweat too much that he missed his first podium of the Formula 1 season on the Nürburgring in his native Germany last Sunday. With a 77-point lead on teammate Mark Webber and 82 points separating him from Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, the defending champion is still on track to take his second straight driver’s championship when the season ends. Having stood on the podium nine of a possible ten times,... Read More

We’re into the rum rations now, and I’ve got this nagging feeling that I’m coming down with Stanley Cup fever. I’m fiending for yet another crack at the Bruins after Montreal played their cardiac role to perfection in getting all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Flyers. But there’s more to it than just the rivalry at stake.
Every year we get the joy of watching underdogs rise up and hold their own... Read More

We’re already at the quarter pole for 2011?! Wow… this year just keeps sneaking past me, days turning into weeks and barreling through the months before I even realize it. At least some semblance of normalcy is on the horizon for me now, as spring arrives with my residential situation in focus and the ability to really hunker down to some work. Read More

So I finally followed through on a promise I’ve been making for some time. After several years of watching my hair slowly grow out from buzzed beginnings, blossoming outward like one of those Chia Heads before flopping earthward in a mane around my shoulders and down my back, I’ve done something altruistic for a change. For years my wife has suggested, given my ability to grow one prodigious head of hair, that I should donate the tresses... Read More

I have found myself thinking about my writing an awful lot lately. Between trying my hand at a quick 50,000-word novel and preparing to spend the winter grappling with a Non-Traditional Sports Fan’s almanac/manifesto of 2010, I have a couple huge projects weighing on my mind simultaneously.
